"From your own confession to de
tectives In the Jail Just now twenty
four women have been victimized by
you, eleven of whom have children
by you. three of them twins. It will

Mfirch 12, 1910. In the Ariel school
building, with a song, "The Dattle
Hymn of the Republic," and devo
tional exercises conducted by Super
intendent Koehier.
The ilrst paper, on "Whnt Teach
ing Taught Me,'' by Alma Schtiller,
was very interesting and contained
many helpful hints, 'as "Do not try to
accomplish too much in the short
time we have, but do the work
thoroughly and take time to give
the backward child a little needful
help and encouragement."
A well-written paper on "Geogra
phy" was then read by Pearl Kelley,
which brought out the need of teach
ing the beginners, the lakes, streams,
ditches and water breaks near the
school in order tp lead the child to
comprehend the similar subjects in
Geography.

structive paper on "How Teachers
May Improve Their English and the
English of Their Pupils." As chil
dren are great imitators teachers
should be careful to use the best
English at all times and at all places.
Another good suggestion was for the
teachers and pupils both to make
use of the Dictionary, not only for the
meaning of words, but the pronunci
ation. Ho then wrote a list of words I
ter healthy national pride; 3. To
cultivate a taBto for historical rend
ing. It wns thoroughly discussed by
Prof. Storm nnd Miss uoyce, nrtor
which a song was sung.
Miss Eva Palmer read a very good
paper on "Primary Reading." The
different methods of reading were
discussed but the word method was
prefered.
Mr. White yery ably presented the
subject "ilow to Develop the Mind."
Ho states that tho child learns better
